Hope it works out for you Leo. Granted the vortech is no slouch but you can't beat the instant power from a twin screw.

Thanks everyone. I'll keep you all posted on how this turns out.

I like the whipple it's just you can't combine it with Shaker and have it look good. I'll be happy with the Vortech or Saleen it's just the Saleen Supershaker has gives that extra eye candy and will make my shaker functional. For me it's not about twinscrew vs centri.

I read from another forum where some guy did a before/after temp comparison using a laser temp sensor on his intake manifold.

The difference between non-polished and poished yielded a whopping 1 degree in surface temperature difference.

Honestly, I didn't care if he was "right or wrong". I like the polished look I'm putting very good numbers down and I enjoy the high end pull. If we're all talking about regret... I will say if I would have known how much this Vortech system was going to cost me in the long run I would have spent the extra all upfront and gone with a nice Turbo set-up with GT500 pumps. But you can't plan like that, could have had the same or different problems with a much higher initial cost.

I love my system and with some supporting mods like a 1 piece driveshaft, CMDP, gears, GT500 pump will only make life that much better. I love the added traction these Nitto 555 tires provide. And having a 10" rim out back helps too

Not too much longer!

Good news

Leo- Don't settle for second best. You wont ever be happy. But keep in mind issues which "could" arise form the supercharger which could cost you more $$$. Just my 2 cents. Saleen Shaker is badass though.
